I'm 2 days post op, I get this weird feeling when drinking , its like it bubbles all the way down . and I'm taking slow sips. I know I'm not getting my calories in but the little I do get in ,it makes me full. Should I just stop When I feel full ??

It happened to me too, it will go away. The way I thought about it was try funneling Water into a small jug. Lol. Good luck!

The bubbles may be trapped air. Before you sip, rather outand see if that helps. It is most important to get fluids in so you don't get dehydrated. Your stomach is swollen so you will feel full. Don't push too much liquid at once. Take a 5 minute break and then sip again. It does get easier.

I didn't keep a log of weightloss and I don't remember when I began losing. Probably week 2 before I went into a 2 week stall. I've learned to let the worry about the scale not moving and know the weight will continue to come off if I stay on plan. I find clothing getting too big more rewarding than what the scale says. And I feel great. Most important.

Even if I'm not taking in my calories ? That's what I'm afraid off .

Yes. Stalls are normal. Your body will need to heal and then adjust throughout this journey. Don't stress your body more with extra worry. The weight will come off if you stick to your plan. You will be able to feed your body more and more as the swelling goes down.

I had this same exact problem! I was sleeved on 12/22 and let me tell you it does get better! I was miserable at first and thought there was NO way I could ever get even close to my Fluid requirements because of the pain I felt when drinking. I could feel fluids from the moment it hit my throat all the way down to my stomach, bubbling and gurgling. However, 8 days later and I don't have this problem anymore! I asked my surgeon about it and they said it's due to the swelling from the surgery. Hang in there, it does get better! :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
